War Child Nederland is a non-profit organization based in Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands, that supports children affected by armed conflict through mental health and psychosocial assistance. Its approach combines scientifically informed methods with sensitivity to how children experience stress, producing interventions delivered through sport, play, and creative activities. These activities aim to reduce war-related distress, strengthen natural resilience, and help children gradually regain belief in a hopeful future. The organization serves children in conflict zones and works with communities to improve well-being and learning opportunities through collaborative programs. It employs a sizeable staff and operates within the broader non-profit sector focused on child protection and education in emergencies; a notable initiative is the Can't Wait to Learn program, launched in Chad in 2019 and delivered via tablets and mobile devices.
